Why go
Book Ithaki for a polished Vouliagmeni meal where Riviera atmosphere and flexible timing matter more than a tightly defined tasting format. It is a better fit for couples, visiting friends, coastal plans than for diners seeking a chef's-counter experience. Matsuhisa Athens is the stronger alternative when a more defined dining identity is the priority.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Ithaki presents itself as a seaside destination where the Athenian Riviera's natural setting does much of the work. The restaurant sits on the Apollonos waterfront in Vouliagméni, and the writing privileges proximity to the sea—'close enough to hear'—over ostentation. The kitchen balances coastal directness with refinement, positioning the dining room to feel both polished and approachable. Expect an elegant, scenic evening without the formalities of a haute-cuisine temple: the emphasis is on immediate, sea-minded cooking and a relaxed, convivial room that suits pairs and larger groups alike.
Best For
This is a venue built for occasions that benefit from a memorable setting: date nights, special celebrations and any meal where the waterfront matters. The copy explicitly notes the room's ability to handle larger tables as confidently as tables for two, marking it as a sensible choice for group dining as well as intimate evenings. Given its coastal focus and plate-driven menu, Ithaki is best experienced at dinner when the location and sea-adjacent atmosphere are at their most compelling.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the restaurant's seafood strengths and keep choices straightforward—this is food 'that doesn't require a glossary.' Signature plates such as lobster pasta, shrimp risotto and grilled octopus exemplify the kitchen's approach: direct, ingredient-forward and ideal for sharing. For groups, order several of these sea-focused dishes to pass around rather than strict à la carte solo plates. Pairings and wine recommendations are not detailed in the description, so allow staff guidance for accompaniment and portioning when feeding a larger table.

Restaurant context
How Ithaki compares in Vouliagmeni
GIO, Krabo, Ithaki all make sense for readers looking around the Vouliagmeni coast, but Ithaki is the safer pick when the brief is a polished waterfront-leaning meal with easy timing. With no listed price tier, it is harder to judge value against fixed high-end peers, so the decision should be based on setting and schedule rather than a promised tasting format.
Patio and Pelagos both sit in a clearer €€€€ bracket, with Patio framed around Modern Cuisine and Pelagos around Contemporary cooking. Choose those when the meal needs to feel more formally culinary and price is less of a constraint. Choose Ithaki when the group wants Vouliagmeni ease, a social room, less pressure around a long-format dinner.
Matsuhisa Athens is the sharper cross-shop for diners who want a more defined brand and a counter-adjacent dining mindset. Ithaki is easier to justify for a broad group or a Riviera evening where ambiance matters as much as the plate. If the plan is a special-occasion splurge with a more specific cuisine signal, Matsuhisa Athens, Patio, or Pelagos should be checked before committing here.
